Welcome Discovery students!
Discovery awaits – begin your college career abroad at a Syracuse Center in Florence, Italy; Madrid, Spain; or Strasbourg, France.
Syracuse University’s Discovery programs, designed for select first-semester students, provide an international foundation through global education to expand your academic options, foreign language proficiency, and comprehension of global politics.
These programs fulfill the same curricular requirements as first-year students studying at Syracuse University main campus, while providing a unique course schedule specific to your location.

“Studying abroad in Florence my first semester was by far the best decision I have made thus far in my life, and I would not be the same without it; the discovery program forced me to step outside my comfort zone, and it allowed me to make connections with amazing people that I will cherish forever. Students should know that the staff and students are such caring and supporting people, and that there are so many support systems surrounding them.”
